1.2 Purpose of this manual
This manual provides guidance to owners and personnel in the installation, operation and
maintenance of the Daniel
Senior
Orifice Fitting.
To ensure safe and proper installation, operation and maintenance, it is imperative that
product owners and operation personnel read and follow the information contained in this
manual.
1.3
Product description
The Daniel Senior Orifice Fitting is an orifice plate holding device that houses, and
accurately positions, an orifice plate within a pipe or tube to measure fluid flow. It is one
component of a flow measurement system. The Senior Orifice Fitting (Senior) is designed
to:
Position an orifice plate, concentric to flow moving through a pipeline, within API
-14.3, Part 2 or ISO 5167 installation requirements.
Allow personnel to remove and replace an orifice plate without disturbing the flow
measurement system piping, with little, or no, interruption in service and without
removing the Senior from the system.
The orifice plate within a Senior restricts the fluid moving through a pipe. This restriction
creates a change in static pipe pressure of the fluid. Instrumentation measure the
difference in change of the fluid entering orifice plate bore, and once again after it exits the
Introduction

plate bore. This instrumentation then combines that information, along with other data
gathered from the flowing fluid, and calculates the amount of fluid that passes through
the system.
The first chamber, or Body (4), properly positions the orifice plate in the flow stream. The
second chamber, or Top (14), is a temporary holding place for the orifice plate during
removing or installing operations (Refer to Section 4.2).
Important
The unit components have part numbers assigned on appropriate drawings and tables. Refer to
Figure 1-2 and Table 1-4 for part numbers. Example: Body (4).
Daniel Senior Orifice Fitting - Flangnek optionFigure 1-1:
Therefore, using a Senior may eliminate the need for bypass piping, valves, and other
fittings necessary with conventional orifice fitting installations. Maintenance technicians
can replace and repair all parts of the Senior, including the slide valve assembly, without
removing the Body (4) from the line (refer to Section .6).
Emerson designs and manufactures all Senior units to applicable API-14.3
recommendations and in accordance with selected ANSI, ASME and ASTM specifications.
As an option, Emerson Process Management also designs and manufactures fittings in
compliance with ISO 5167.
Products bearing the "CE" mark are designed and manufactured in compliance with the
European Union Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 97/23/EC (available on the internet).
Refer to the "Daniel Orifice Fittings Installation and Operating Instructions specific to the
Pressure Equipment Directive", Part Number 3-9008-002 (available on the Emerson
Process Management website).

Conditions and specifications (continued)Table 1-2:
Maintenance in-
tervals:
The owners and users of these products should perform regular scheduled in-
tervals of maintenance activities. The recommended intervals are every month
or as directed by the owner's maintenance procedures. Examine components
during each scheduled maintenance period, site visits and during each orifice
plate change.
Replace any component that shows signs of wear or when damaged with parts
specified for Daniel products.
Seal replacement: Examine seals during each scheduled maintenance period, site visits and dur-
ing each orifice plate change.
Replace any worn or damaged or non-functioning seals with parts specified for
Daniel product.
Fastener torque
verification:
Check all fasteners for tightness during each scheduled maintenance period,
site visits and during each orifice plate change.
Use information provided in Section 5.3 as a starting point in establishing the
proper fastener torque values for your particular service environment.
Corrosion allow-
ance:
Emerson machines the meter bore of each fitting to close tolerances. This is to
conform to industry measurement standards.
The fitting's meter bore dimensions DO NOT include an allowance for corro-
sion.
It is the end user's responsibility to specify a fitting's material of construction
based upon their knowledge of the process fluid and environmental conditions
of an intended service.
Therefore, it is important that the end user to monitor any change in the gas or
liquid composition during monthly exercises, site visits and plate changes that
may create a corrosion concern (Reference: U.S. DOT, CFR Title 49: Part
192.477).
Environmental parameters:
Application: Surface and offshore (not for use in subsea applications)
Confined/open: Designed for outdoor use. May be used in well ventilated spaces (buildings/en-
closed meter houses). Installation at product owner's discretion.
Site temperature: Recommended atmospheric temperature ranges
Maximum: +120 °F (+49 °C),
Minimum: -20 °F (-29 °C).
Site humidity: No limit
Site elevation: No limit
Proximity to pop-
ulation:
Reference: Class 1 location: U.S. DOT, CFR Title 49: Part 192.5.
Proximity to traf-
fic:
The owner must protect the fitting from accidental damage by vehicular traffic
or other causes, by either placing the unit at a safe distance from the traffic, or
installing barricades around the unit.
Proximity to
equipment:
Install the Senior in a well ventilated place, not less than 3 feet (914 millime-
ters) from any source of ignition or any source of heat which might damage
the unit.

Replacement
parts:
Use only replacement parts specified for Daniel products. Unauthorized parts
and procedures can affect this product's performance and place the safe oper-
ation of your process at risk.
Aftermarket at-
tachments:
Use of pressure sensing equipment, drain valves, and other accessories (e.g.,
needle valves, multi-port valves, transmitters, 3-pin recorders… etc.) are per-
missible. The use of aftermarket equipment must be installed and operated as
directed by the after-market equipment manufacturer, and their warranties
and replacements are not contained within the scope of this document.
Pipe supports: The owner must employ sound engineering principles to design the support
systems for the flow measurement system (or meter tube).
It is important that the design engineer develop a method to support the en-
tire weight (equipment, piping and fluid) of the system.
The method developed must prevent bending to reduce the potential of creat-
ing unwanted stress at welded joints and flanges. Unwanted stresses may lead
to leaks and may ultimately lead to failure or rupture of the flow measurement
system.
Vandalism/Tam-
pering:
It is the responsibility of each product owner to protect the Senior from van-
dalism, tampering or other unauthorized activity.
(1) It is ultimately the responsibility of the Owner or End User to determine suitable materials of construction
suitable for a service conditions.
